About Samantha
Samantha Delisio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Samantha uses several therapy approaches to help people make practical changes in daily life.
Samantha draws on an attachment-informed perspective to look at how early relationships affect current behavior. She pays attention to patterns from childhood that still show up in adult relationships. Sessions include talking through relationship patterns, practicing new ways to communicate, and noticing how past losses or abandonment shape reactions now. Samantha also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) ideas to help people regulate emotions and tolerate hard moments. She treats grief and complicated life changes with practical coping skills and attention to values and meaning. When adoption, foster care, or blended family issues are present, she helps clients sort roles and expectations in the household. Samantha earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from Chatham University. Her undergraduate degrees are in Rehabilitation and Human Services and Communication Science and Disorders from The Pennsylvania State University. She holds the Pennsylvania LPC credential.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha commonly blends attachment-informed work with cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods. Attachment-informed work looks at relationship patterns from early life and how they shape current bonds; online sessions can focus on noticing those patterns and trying new interaction strategies. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework that can be assigned between sessions. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and current challenges and together decide which methods to try first. That plan can change as the work progresses based on what is most useful for the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. They also let therapists assign practical between-session work, like thought records or communication exercises, that can be used during the week to support changes.
